Ingredients for White Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake

For this delicious and easy White Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

All-Purpose Flour: 4 tbsp – This provides the structure for our mug cake. You can substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free blend if needed. Measure with a dry measuring spoon and level it for accuracy.

Vegetable Oil: 2 tbsp – Adds moisture to the cake, giving it a tender crumb. Any neutral oil will do – canola, or sunflower are great alternatives. Don’t use olive oil as it might affect the flavor.

Granulated Sugar: 3 tbsp – Provides the necessary sweetness and helps with browning. Adjust the amount to your preference if you prefer less sweet desserts.

Vanilla Extract: ½ tsp – This enhances the overall flavor profile of the cake. Pure vanilla extract is best for a richer flavor.

Almond Extract: ¼ tsp – Adds a lovely nutty aroma and taste that pairs beautifully with white chocolate and raspberry. Don’t skip this, it really is worth it!

Baking Powder: ⅛ tsp – This is our leavening agent, allowing the mug cake to rise. Be sure that yours is fresh for the best results.

Salt: ⅛ tsp – A pinch of salt enhances the flavors of all other ingredients and keeps it from being overly sweet. Do not use too much as it can make the cake taste salty.

White Chocolate Chips: 2 tbsp – Adds richness and a creamy texture to the mug cake. Any brand of white chocolate chips works here – I love Ghirardelli, but use whatever you have on hand!

Raspberry Jam: 1 tbsp – Gives a beautiful swirl of fruity flavor. Any flavor of jam can be used, just make sure it’s good quality!

Whole Milk: 3 tbsp – This adds moisture and helps create a smooth batter. You can use any other milk like oat or almond if that’s your preference.

How To Make the Best White Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake

Here’s how to create this amazing White Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake:

Prep Work:

Gather all your ingredients. You’ll need a microwave-safe mug, a small whisk, and measuring spoons.

No need to preheat anything – this is an easy microwave recipe!

Main Steps:

In your mug, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined. Make sure to break up any lumps that may be present.

Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the mug. Stir with a whisk or fork until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Make sure that all ingredients are fully incorporated into the batter.

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Make a small well in the center of the batter with the back of a spoon and spoon the raspberry jam into the space. Don’t mix it in, just place it in the center.

Microwave on high for 1 minute 45 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and set in the center. The top may look slightly moist, but it should feel firm when touched gently. Microwaves vary, so start with the shorter time and add more if needed.

Finishing Steps:

Let the mug cake cool for 1 minute before enjoying. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cake to set properly.

Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, tasty treat!

How To Serve White Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake

I love this White Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake served warm, right out of the microwave. It’s perfect for a quick dessert or an afternoon treat.

If you’re feeling fancy, a dollop of whipped cream or a few fresh raspberries on top makes it even more special. My kids go crazy for it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side! It’s also delicious with a warm cup of coffee or tea.

If you have any leftovers, which is rare, you can store it in the fridge for a day, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Expert Tip:

A common mistake people make when trying this White Chocolate Raspberry Mug Cake is overcooking it.

This will make the mug cake dry and dense. If you’ve experienced that before, don’t worry!

The secret is to watch the cake closely while it’s microwaving. You want to cook it until the center is set, but still slightly moist.

Also, always make sure your baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder may not provide enough lift to the cake.

I once used baking powder from the back of my pantry and it came out flat, so always check the date!

One more tip: if you are not a fan of a super sweet dessert, you can reduce the sugar to 2 tablespoons, I’ve tried it before and it is still yummy!
